It seams *tii t the time has come when

YOU ABE INVITED
You are invited to attend the May
Fete held on the Southwestern Univer-
sity campus May first. The faculty and
student body of the University extend
this invitation to you whether you are
in or out of school. You will have the
opportunity to see one of the most gor-
geous pageants ever given and all free.
The invitation is yours. We say come.
COURTESY TO VISITORS
It hardly seems necessary to remind
the students of Southwestern to be
courteous to visitors, but for fear that
there be some who are forgetful this
word is given.
Every year we have several thousand
visitors here for the May Fete. It is
the duty of every student to give any
information or aid that lies within his
?power to make these visitor^ comfort-
able and enjoy their stay.
Be a booster for Southwestern thru
your conduct. Demonstrate that old"
Southwestern Bpirit of highmindedness
and chivalry. Show a proper spirit of
cooperation toward the one end of mak-
ing the May Fete a success.
When this is done we will not have to
worry about the impression we hava
made on our visitors.
BASKETBALL LETTERS
What has become of the Athletic
Councilf is a question which the basket-
ball boys are asking. Upon proper re-
flection The Mcgaphone w almost tempt-
ed to ask the same question., In all
other colleges the letter men have been
announced and the proper rewards
granted. If our letter men are to re-
ceive sweaters, thpy would like to get
them before spring is over so that they
could get a little use out of them before
the moths have a chance to eat them up
during the summer.
We are sure that this matter is an ov-
ersight of the Council'8, but it is an
unpardonable one. Athletes are willing
to put forth 'their best efforth. for the
honor of the school without any other
compensation than the honor that comes
therefrom. . ■
We should be just as responsive in
giving them their proper rewards.

year the classes haVe failed to show the

If any class or organization wants a

PLANS MADE
"Spring in College," discussed by
Glenn Bartlett, was the first number on
the program at the San Jacinto mooting
Monday morning. He made a few de-
scriptive remarks concerning said sea-
son and then turned to that subject
which is more generally and pleasantly
associated with Bpring. Among his in-
spiring remarks were these: "Adown
the thundering centuries, when bloom-
ing nature, emerging from the chilling
thraltdown of winter, bursts forth into
the langorous lap of the vernal equinox,
the chirping chirup of the connubial
chick is wafted in tenderness athwart
the balmy sporific air, resounding with
melifluous notes of Hymenial love, and
young man's fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of double harness and earpet
slippers! 'Twas ever, thus' T He then
declared, "Love is invincible, pneon
querable, insoluble, irrefragible, and-
supreme! Youth, love and life and
mushy bunk will prevail!"
Erna L§inweber then rendered a pi-
ano solo as the next number.
Jethro King gave a talk on athletics,
Showing that athletic training is essen-
tial to the development of the other
factors in the makeup of a well-rounded
man. He stated, "Too many teams go
into a game* with the indention of win-
ning, regardless of how victory is to
be obtained. This," he said, "is not
conducive to the development of a man
morally. ' Every student should get into
some kind of athletics in order to get
this training toward better physical,
mental and moral development."
Robert Span* was given a slip of pa-
per by the president on which was the
subject, "My impressions of the An-
nex." He was told to give an extem-
poraneous speech on it. Hp gave a de-
tailed description of the building itself,
rather than its contents.
